TIFU by talking about my boss without realizing he was standing right behind me

Not an english speaker.

Today was a very particular today because my boss had meetings with shady and important people and everyone was mad at him for different reasons and what caught my attention was a politician and a very shady banker because they weren’t just mad, they were extremely mad at him but my boss put them in thier place remembering everyone that they paid for his service so they had 0 levarage on him with threats and menaces. Especially the shady banker made a scene about the fact that he paid my boss millions and he wasn’t happy with the results. Security had to almost drag him out because of this so not exactly a day like another.

My boss always made me the impression of a cold and calculative “genius” in his work. He works so fast and so accuratly with numbers that it’s impossible to keep the rithm. And i always saw him as an introvert and shy guy but after today i realized that i didn’t knew him at all with all those meetings with politicians, entreprenuers and the shady banker.

Coming to the point of this post: to make a bit of gossip in the evening i called my gf for a quick chat and we ended up talking about what happened today at work. The thing that i didn’t realized was that he was talking with another coworker right behind me and when the coworker went away i really thought to be alone and that no one was there listening to me so i opened up to my gf about my boss, what happened today and how my boss seemed a type of person but after what happened today i was a bit scared of him. The thing is that the coworkers that were on the door talking were giving me glances of “warning” that my boss was standing right behind me but i realized after like 10 minutes when i saw a shadow behind me and immediatly told my gf that i had to go.

We remained there for a few moments and believe me i wanted to disappear from there or maybe die there. But my boss talked first and reassured me that it wasn’t a problem because everyone talk about their boss so he wasn’t mad at me. And after he finished before walking away he whispered in my ear “next time make sure the person you are talking about isn’t behind you. Just an advice” and laughed.

So it might be a laughable thing but believe me i wanted to just go home after that because how you mantain a straight face after something like this.

For fuck’s sake i was embarassing hahahah.

TL;DR: I talked about my boss without realizing that he was right behind me
